Tar Heels: From shortage to surplus?

North Carolina's Tar Heels have gone from a shortage of football scholarships to a surplus.

Kicker Jay Wooten has decided to transfer and three recruits will enroll in prep school. The Tar Heels were once 11 scholarships over the limit of 85 but now are one under that limit and could have a bigger surplus for coach Butch Davis.

Wooten, who made 4-of-6 field-goal attempts and 11 extra points as a redshirt freshman, shared the kicking responsibilities with Casey Barth in 2008. The school announced he was leaving the program on Monday, giving them 26 available scholarships.

Recruits Justin Dixon, J.R. Rhodes and Johnnie Farms are expected to enroll at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., which means what was once a recruiting class of 29 is down to 23.

Twenty of the recruits who signed in February are enrolled in summer school, a UNC spokesman said Monday.

Three players -- CB D.J. Bunn, TE Prizell Brown and LB Hawatha Bell -- have not yet enrolled, but could in August.

The NCAA allows a maximum of 25 players to enroll in one class but does not limit the number of players who can be signed.
